Dr Oliver is a very accomplished Dental Surgeon with a special interest in Cosmetic Rehabilitation, Oral Surgery and Dental Implantology. He graduated from Melbourne Dental School as the No. 1 graduate collecting the RACDS award, John Iliffe Scholarship for final year of BDSc, the ADAVB Prize for Top Final Year Dental Student and First Class Honours.
Since graduation, Dr Oliver has placed high importance on continuing education in General Dentistry but especially in his chosen field of Oral Surgery, Implantology and Smile Rejuvenation. He has invested significant time in further training in these fields with specialists in top institutions around the world. Included in these locations are South America, Australia, Germany and the U.S, to name a few. After gaining a Fellowship of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, he has also completed many different courses in other aspects of dentistry to provide him with the best understanding of how Implantology is integrated into a complete oral rehabilitation for the best long term results. In recent years, Oliver has completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry. This has enabled him to further expand his skillset in the areas of Digital Dentistry, Digital Smile Design and Full Mouth Rehabilitation.
Dr Oliver believes in high quality dental treatment with a scientific basis for long term success. This lack of compromise on quality gives his patients outstanding outcomes for their treatments, confidence through communication and understanding of procedures to be undertaken. He also believes that fear should not be a barrier for treatment and, with the assistance of an Anaesthetist, has been performing Sleep Dentistry under Intravenous Sedation in the practice. Whether it be for removal of Wisdom Teeth or even General Dentistry, his goal was to provide safe and tailored care to those that just simply cannot go through treatments awake.
After a 10 year stint in Melbourne, he has migrated to Sydney with his wife, Dr Tirza Harley, to enjoy the weather and lifestyle that it has to offer. In 2016, Dr Oliver embarked on ownership of Pennant Hills Dental Centre and The Village Dentist, Castle Hill. Since being at the helm, the practices have won numerous awards including the Hornsby Local Business Award, and the national HESTA Aged Care Award.
Dr Oliver has developed a comprehensive Oral Health Training Program for the nursing staff at the Anglican Retirement Village Castle Hill and is a regular author in the ‘Compendium’ discussing a variety of dental topics. Based on his contribution to dentistry in the local community he personally has been awarded a Fellowship with the Pierre Fauchard Academy in London.
Not surprisingly, when he isn’t practicing dentistry, Dr Oliver loves the great outdoors. He has a large array of sporting interests which includes snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing and keeping fit at the gym (to name a few). We are thrilled to have him join the team and believe his skill set to be a real asset to our patients.
